I knew this was a meme rune but it is even worse than expected. If you have a regular serpent sting up serpent spread does nothing. If you don’t have a regular serpent sting up you get 6s of serpent sting which is about 30 damage?!?!

If you have serpent sting up, you get nothing.
If you don’t have SS up, you are bad and are only getting at best 60% uptime on your SS and are dropping dps.
Applying 6 seconds of Serpent Sting with MS on a 10 second CD is awful. It needs to apply 10-12 seconds of SS to be “good”. This would allow us to drop SS from our rotation which would be a huge help for mana sustain and make the rune actually worth using.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

They should just remove it and give us TBC Hunter’s Snake Trap.
Maybe it’ll be better later when there are other runes that synergize with it.
I think it’s supposed to synergize with chimera shot but it doesn’t work from what I understand.
I use it because it’s basically a 32 damage upgrade on multishot and serpent sting is only a 5 dps ability at 100% uptime anyway.
But yes it feels really bad, the thing is the other runes are worthless unless you play with a cat or melee weave.
In the end we have ridiculously low impact on our dps… You can send pet and click multi every 10s or do some god tier melee dance, the dps difference is barely noticeable.
Would be great if chimera cleaved multiple mobs. Would make for a nice serpent combo on trash packs.
How is combat traps not a rune?

Remove the target cap from multishot would help a ton in making serpent spread viable, but with how hard multishot hits this won’t happen.

Just like most of the hunter runes it’s useless thanks to blizzards incompetence.
